2010 Map of Valley Station

About this map

Valley Station and the suburban reaches of southwest Jefferson County are defined here by a transition from organized residential blocks to the high ridges and deep hollows of the Knobs region. The landscape reflects a legacy of family settlement and community foundations, evidenced by a high density of burial sites such as Bethany Memorial Cemetery and the South Jefferson Cemetery. While Prairie Village and Johnsontown represent the more developed northern corridor, the southern portion of the sheet shifts toward steep elevations like Jefferson Hill and Sugarloaf Knob. The presence of Tom Wallace Lake and the Jones Hollow Camp Area suggests a region valued for recreation and conservation, even as infrastructure like the railroad through Medora and roads winding through Blevins Gap connect these disparate terrains. Genealogists can find numerous family-named landmarks, from Kings Ridge to the McDaniel Cemetery, marking the heritage of those who inhabited these ridges.
